I see HerdMASTER 4 as being the result of many years of software developers working closely with and listening to the needs of beef producers to make a very stable, flexible, user friendly and advanced herd recording program.

I value the support services which have demonstrated the flexibility of the program by being able to design and add new features to suit my individual needs.
